The meaning of "mode" in the H.323 Recommendation?

[Paul E. Jones]

Frank,

I would need to look at the particular section of text or sections :-), but
I if it isn't clear, I'd agree that it should be clarified.  Unfortunately,
it's too late to get such text into H.323 version 4.

If it is a short list of sections, post them here and I suspect folks will
be able to get an answer to you before I get back into the office (I'm
currently on the road).  If the list is lengthy, just send it to me and I'll
look at the sections when I get a chance.  Do you think this is something
that needs clarification in the implementers guide or something to try to
get into v5?

Paul
